Rupam Bhattacharyya et al. Endocuff-assisted vs. standard colonoscopy in the fecal occult blood test-based UK Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (E-cap study): a randomized trial

This randomized trial compared endocuff-assisted with standard colonoscopy among 534 patients with positive fecal occult blood tests. No difference was found in the detection of polyps, adenomas, or advanced adenomas between endocuff-assisted and standard colonoscopy. In 6 % of patients, the endocuff could not pass through the sigmoid colon.
